What is vb's best version? -- The unofficial poll

[Apokalupsis]

Having the graphics already is only a part of the process. In fact, it's the easier part. If all you want to do is spend $30-$50, then you are probably better off buying a premade style from another...

There used to be right? I seem to remember submitting my community to vb's categorized community list (back in the day). Did that stop a while back or was that something recent?...

[Apokalupsis]

I'm curious to know what most site owners and users who are familiar with the various versions of vb believe to be the best version of vb to date.

By best, I mean that it has:
...

[Apokalupsis]

Well, there's been some speculation that parts of the development have been outsourced. It is definitely the case that there is a variety of coding styles (evidenced by the various coding styles and patterns...

[Apokalupsis]

Well...there are some business models that work that seem to fit what is going on here with vb5. For example, some companies can actually make a profit by focusing on quantity over quality...and I think...

[Apokalupsis]

It is true that it his opinion, and we are all entitled to our own opinions. But that same opinion is shared by the vast majority of vb owners I believe. Throughout the internet, on boards discussing...

[Apokalupsis]

That's actually an interesting perspective. It seems to be, that we would be spending money to REMOVE the most important features and functions of vb. Just doesn't make sense...there are not sufficient...

No, just my primary site with vbulletin: www.onlinedebate.net

I use Hostgator for my reseller business. I used to host ODN at Hostgator, but it required too many resources and HG wanted to...

[Apokalupsis]

Not true. It may have been the case that some were, but could not have been all because mine did not suffer any noticeable down time whatsoever....

I'm learning PHP. Every once in a while I run into a snag and need some help. I'm looking for some active communities out there that have forums where people can post their questions/challenges, and also...

I'm having trouble getting the mod rewrite to work properly on a clean 4.2 suite install, but only for the CMS (articles) section.

It's set to mod rewrite.
vb is installed in the /forum/...

I am used to using vbadvanced. I'd like to have my vb CMS have at least one of the things that vba did well...and that is display the most recent threads in the middle of the page (under the Latest News/Announcement)....

[Apokalupsis]

OK...so here is what I want...

www.mydomain.com = CMS (this is the page most everyone goes straight to)

www.mydomain.com/forum = forum. (just the forum area)

What...

[Apokalupsis]

Yes, it won't allow me to go past that point.

During the install process, which is 98% complete, a popup said "Unexpected text." The error it gave is quoted above.

...so what do I do now and why did this happen?...

[Apokalupsis]

To do this, wouldn't you have to create a new user group?

If so, then how would you set this up exactly so that the new usergroup is "Newly Registered", but automatically promoted...

[Apokalupsis]

Yeah, that did the trick. Thanks.

[Apokalupsis]

Depends on the size of your forum. I was with HG for about 6 years. I had to move finally because my forum outgrew their limited shared servers. I'm with urljet.com now and I have no more issues with...

[Apokalupsis]

I want to put a link directly from the postbit to a member's profile (instead of just having it in the memberaction_dropdown template.

However, when I try to copy the code that links to the...

[Apokalupsis]

I don't know if I needed it, but I removed it and it seems to have done the trick.
